Hello!
First time poster Seems like you all got a nice forum going on here so I thought perhaps I could get some input/help from some of you and maybe even offer some assistance to others
I had plan to get a computer to handle regular "office" tasks along with some gaming. I am not looking for a "high-tech" gaming machine but I want a robust one able to play games for a few years to come. Anyway, these are the parts I picked out so far which according to me add up to a rather nice piece of machinery for a relatively low cost.
As a sidenote, I know the speakers and soundcard can be upgraded however there is no priority of this from my side, they are really of no concern aslong as I am able to get decent audio.
Specifications:
(revised, new motherboard, cpu & memory)
Case
Apevia Black X-Cruiser Case ATX Mid-Tower Case
Power Supply
HEC Orion Power 585watt
Motherboard
MSI K9NU Neo-V NVIDIA Socket AM2 ATX Motheboard
Processor
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Socket AM2 BOX CPU - Windsor
Memoryx2
US Modular 1024MB PC3200 DDR2 400MHz Memory
Hard Drive
Hitachi 7K160 160GB
CD/DVD
Lite-on Super Allwrite SHM-165H6S CD/DVD-RW
Video Card
DiabloTek Radeon X700 Super 512MB
Sound Card
N/A (Integrated)
Network Card
N/A (Integrated Ethernet Port)
Speakers
Cyber Acoustics CA-2016
Monitor
N/A
I already possess a monitor, keyboard and mouse I wish to use with my new configuration. Any inputs/suggestions other than that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
